Community Account -

Closing balance = £17,985.02
Savings Account -
Opening balance = £11,086.91
Closing balance = £11.089.28
Unfortunately, with the coronavirus pandemic still looming over us, we were limited to what we could do during this financial year.
The village did an excellent scarecrow trail with a tombola that gained a lot of donations and again, a lot from Enesco, in which we raised over £900.
There was an increase in staff costs due to taking on new staff members due to the increase in children which also involved spending more on uniforms.
As of other years, we didn’t fit in a Christmas fare.
Hall fees this year werea little less than last year at £1648.50.
After Easter, we managed to organise a scavenger hunt and raised £120.
Unfortunately, due to another nursery closing, we did benefit from just under £3,000 that kindly got donated around other nurseries.
| Towards the end of the year, we organised a sponsored walk. The weather was excellent | and there was a brilliant turn out. We managed to raise just over £1,000 and a big thanks to our local pub “The Royal Oak” for donating plenty of drinks and snacks for everybody afterwards after a well-deserved rest.
Looking over the books, our savings account is, again, nearly the same as last year and our community account is still showing a good healthy balance. Our savings account is held high to cover any redundancies may we need to. As of all the other years, we still never managed to fit in an end of year trip however, we did manage to fit in fun activities within the centre.
